The waiting game

Howdy folks,

Well since we still have another 7 or 8 weeks of waiting time before we can pick up the new brewing system, let's at least spend our time wisely by drinking other peoples' beer. Saturday, August 21 we will be taking a little road trip out to Morebeer's Riverside showroom to watch a demonstration of a brewing session on equipment similar to what we'll be getting...so that should be fun. We are also planning on stopping by The Bruery on our way home for some refreshments, and maybe Tustin Brewing Co. as well. If anyone wants to meet up with us, give me a holler.

Also, check out this link to a website called The Full Pint. It provides many good articles, information about brewing and tasting events, and reviews of newly released beers.

Stay thirsty my friends.

One small step for man...

What's up friends, family and local beer enthusiasts?! I take great pleasure in announcing that the first step has been taken--the order has been placed for the new half-barrel brewery which will be residing at the Dagwood location. After many months of trying to decide what brewing setup would best suit our needs, working out financial issues and making room to store a system that is much larger than the current 5 gallon system, the leap was made. The brew system is a Morebeer™ 2050 which is equipped with a 26 gallon mash/lauter tun, 26 gallon hot-liquor-tank, and a 26 gallon brew kettle. We plan to be brewing 15 gallon batches of some big, tasty West Coast Style ales and Belgian-influenced ales beginning this fall. So be ready to stop by, try some great new beers produced with love, and check out the awesome new equipment this fall!
